Like major and minor leaguers, school athletes are also divided into elite squads and those trying to get there!

Today's Lesson

Explanation

  • For any sport or other competition against other schools, varsity is the team with a school's most experienced and skilled players.

    Junior varsity is the team with players that have less experience or skill than varsity.
